I used the manufacturer's suggested value ratings on both the SR Orange and the QSA fuse.

I had to go up from 4 to 6 with SR blues Slow Blows on the AC side.

The other side of the power supply, I kept the same values in SR Orange At about 25-30 hours I was playing CDs over and over and over.. That just doesn't happen.. I was leaving that tube amp on 20-30 hours at a time..

I would bypass every fuse in that V12r IF I didn't love the thing.. I'd hate to hurt that amp.. Great amp... A lot of expensive transformers in that puppy..

I think the reason why it sounds better. There is ZERO Nano arcing after it settles. There is a reason WHY they work.. And why they sound different one way than the other. The draw of the filament through the dyes, the taper and number of progressive wraps on a SB fuse.. It makes sense to me. You measure the resistance in the fuse one direction and it is less in the other direction. Same with cable.

I have 2 71.00 usd models on the way.. I need a geiger counter, just to make sure there is no funny business. Could be a plot to sterilize my rabbit.. :-)

I discussed the fuse issue with a friend who is a manufacturer and audiophile and super knowledgeable.
He simply says that you hear a difference with the QSA fuses because they increase the voltage flow. Seems logical that a stock fuse creates a kind of bottleneck. The colored fuses open it up.
However, he also says to run away fast if someone tries to sell you a $2400 fuse.
